A foul that is simultaneous with the snap is never blown dead. These are fouls that do not become fouls until the ball is snapped, such as illegal motion and illegal shift because there is time for the offending team to correct infraction before the ball is snapped. On fouls simultaneous with the snap, the ball remains live so you simply throw your flag and officiate the rest of the play.

No, blowing an illegal motion foul dead is not correct because it is not a dead ball foul. Only dead ball fouls are blown dead because they prevent the ball from being legally put into play.
